In
addition to the Silver Chord Bowl and the annual variety show (The
Really Big Show), two interesting and energizing acts are on the sched.
Grammy Award nominees Ecos de Borinquen perform Sunday, February 11.
Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. I have attached an mp3
of the group that I received courtesy of Bob Cilman of the Northampton Arts Council. Thanks, Bob.

In
addition, Syncop, featuring Algerian-born Karim Benzaid, plays Sunday,
February 18. There will also be a screening of â€œKhaledâ€, a film
featuring the two leading exponents of RaÃ¯ music, Khaled and Rachid
Taha, who have given voice to the Algerian youth rebellion.
